The air was fresh after the rain, and the flowers and trees on the island were green, but the stone steps were a little slippery. Zhou Ship's mother carried Shang Jinghui on her back and got off the ship first. The other servants carried the chess table and other utensils to get off the ship. Zhang Yuan, Wuling's master and servant still walked last, and got off the ship.
When I arrived at the island shore, I saw that half a foot of water had accumulated in the bilge of the awningless boat. It would take half an hour to clean out the water, and a wooden ladle would be needed. Of course, if you are strong enough,
It's okay to drag the boat ashore and turn it upside down, but Zhang Yuan and Wu Ling obviously don't have the strength -
Xiao Jinghui was the most righteous, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Gongzi, you can't ride on this boat. Take our boat. Our boat has a canopy, so you are not afraid of rain."
The four boatwomen in the two awning boats looked at the eldest lady Shang Danran, waiting for her to speak.
The wind on the lake was strong, and the gold hairpin and beaded scarf worn by Shang Danran was blown a little messy. As soon as she brushed the strand of hair behind her ears, the strand of hair slipped out again. She didn't realize how elegant and charming her gesture was.
Also, her narrow-sleeved silk gown was blown to one side by the wind, creating a graceful figure fluttering in the wind——
Shang Danran said: "Well, Mr. Zhang and his two sons will take this boat over here. Ma Huang and Aunt Cai, you two will take Mr. Zhang to the east coast."
The two boatwomen agreed, unmoored and boarded the boat. Zhang Yuan thanked Shang Danran and boarded the awning boat on the left with Wu Ling. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinghui followed him and stretched out his little hand on the shore: "Brother Mr. Zhang."
, pull me, Xiao Hui wants to take this boat too."
The rocks on the shore were rugged and the rain was slippery. Zhang Yuan was afraid that Shang Jinghui would slip and fall into the lake, so he quickly reached out to hold her. The little girl took advantage of Zhang Yuan's hand and became bolder. She stepped onto the bow of the boat and happily walked
Smiling, Shang Jinglan waved to Shang Danran who was still on the shore: "Aunt, sister, come on the boat quickly, the boat is about to leave."
Shang Danran hurriedly approached and said: "Xiao Hui, come ashore quickly, let's take that boat." He pointed to the awning boat next to him.
Shang Jinghui said: "No, Xiao Hui likes to ride on this boat. Auntie, come up quickly."
Zhang Yuan knew that Shang Jinghui was unwilling to board the boat, so he should wait until later. The day was long, so he said to Shang Danran: "Why don't Miss Shang take this boat, and I will go to that boat, so that Miss Jinghui won't have to go up and down?"
Down."
But Shang Jinghui took Zhang Yuan's hand and said on his own: "Brother Mr. Zhang is also riding on this boat. Everyone is riding on this boat together. It's so lively."
Shang Danran had no choice but to say to the old servant Liang Ma and another young servant: "You two go to the boat to take care of Xiao Hui. Be careful not to let her wander around on the boat."
The two maids agreed and got on Zhang Yuan's boat. Liang Ma led Shang Jinghui into the cabin and sat down. Shang Jinghui asked, "Aunt and sister, won't you come up?"
The old servant Liang Ma said: "My aunt and sister are taking that boat."
Shang Jinghui refused to obey and twisted around to make trouble.
Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Miss Jing Hui, let me tell you a story, okay?"
As soon as Shang Jinghui heard the story, he immediately stopped making trouble, opened his lovely eyes and asked: "What story is it?"
Zhang Yuan signaled the boatwoman to punt the boat away from the shore, and then slightly changed Ma Sanli's famous joke "To tease you". The thief's name was not "Tease you" but "Liar". Xiao Jinghui was at first
I didn’t understand. Zhang Yuan said it again. This time I understood. It turned out that the thief was tricking the children. Xiao Jinghui laughed so hard that he asked Liang’s mother to open the awning window and face the awning boat that was following behind.
Chuan Rui shouted: "Auntie - auntie -"
Shang Danran poked his head out of the window of the awning and heard Xiao Jinghui shout: "Auntie, Mr. Zhang told me a joke story. It's very interesting. Auntie, Xiaohui will tell it to you."
OK?"
Shang Danran said: "Okay, I will tell my aunt later. You should do it first and don't move."
Shang Jinghui couldn't wait. She thought this story was so interesting and wanted to share it with her aunt and sister as soon as possible. She just climbed on the window, her body was hugged tightly by Liang's mother, her little head was tilted, and she was pointing at the turtle behind.
The canopy boat said loudly: "Auntie - there is a thief who wants to steal fruits and melons from a family's vegetable garden. There is a child guarding the vegetable garden. The child's father is repairing farm tools in the hut and tells the child -"
Suddenly the hull of the ship shook. Shang Jinghui was startled. When he turned around to look, he saw that it was already docked.
Zhang Yuan came over and gently shook the little girl's soft, boneless hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Jing Hui, I'm going ashore, see you soon."
"Where are you going, Mr. Zhang?" Shang Jinghui asked with wide eyes.
Zhang Yuan said: "Go home, go back to my home in Shanyin."
The six-year-old girl said "Oh" and fell silent instantly. She watched Zhang Yuan and his servant jump ashore one after another. Zhang Yuan waved goodbye to her and she remained silent.
The old servant girl Liang Ma noticed something strange in the little girl's expression and asked softly: "What's wrong with Miss Jing Hui? Why is she so depressed all of a sudden?"
After asking several times, Shang Jinghui replied: "Brother Mr. Zhang is gone."
Liang's mother stroked her little head and smiled: "Miss Jing Hui, this young man is not your brother. Of course he has to leave and go back to his own home. We will also go back to our home soon. You
Mother is waiting for you."
Shang Jinghui nodded, but still felt unhappy.
…
Zhang Yuan on the shore watched the awning boat carrying Shang Jinghui turn around and head west. The boat behind it turned around before it docked. He couldn't help but regret not being able to see Shang Danran again, so he bowed from a distance, expecting that Shang Danran would be able to see him.
——
Suddenly I heard someone shouting from behind: "Meson, why are you here!"
Zhang Yuan looked back and saw his third brother Zhang E striding over with two servants.
Zhang E pushed Zhang Yuan and said with a smile: "I thought you fell into the lake to feed the fish and turtles. Where were you hiding during the heavy rain just now?"
Zhang Yuan pointed to the island in the middle of the lake and said, "I went to the small island over there."
When the two awning boats sailed ten feet away, Zhang E asked: "Whose boat is that, the He family's?"
Zhang Yuandao: "It shouldn't belong to the He family, but to the merchant. It was the lake that Miss Shang sent me across."
"Ah, the Shang girl." Zhang E shouted: "I didn't even see it, but you saw it. How annoying! Hey, Jiezi, how does that Shang girl look like?"
Zhang Yuan glanced at Neng Zhu and saw a rectangular wooden box in his hand, and said hurriedly: "Is it a telescope? Bring it over and let me see."
Zhang E said: "This telescope is not good. The distance and the near are blurry. Please give it a try."
Zhang Yuan held on to the telescope, gently rotated the two copper tubes at the back, adjusted the focus, and faced Shang Danran's awning boat. The square awning window flashed past, and he quickly pulled it back. He saw the man sitting by the awning window.
Shang Danran held his cheeks in his hands, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his beautiful eyes were filled with sadness. His eyes met the telescope, revealing a look of surprise——
"What's the matter, Jie Zi, is the telescope useful?" Zhang E asked, stretching his neck.
Zhang Yuan said: "Very good, very clear." Shang Danran, who was ten feet away, looked like he was in front of him. He could see it more clearly than he had just seen in the island pavilion. His fine and neat eyebrows were like paintings, and his eyes were bright and intoxicating.
Her niece Jing Hui is just as smart and cute, but also has a girlish beauty and lightness——
"Let me see, let me see, can I see the Shang girl?" Zhang E shouted while asking to get the telescope.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand to block the situation. He saw the awning boat turning to the northwest and could no longer see Shang Danran through the window. Then he gave the telescope to Zhang E: "Okay, you
Let’s see.”
Zhang E took a closer look and laughed "ha": "Jiezi, you are really good. It is really clear. When I come to see it, I want to see which ship the Shang girl is on -"
After looking around for a long time, I saw only two rowing women rowing with their sleeves, and there was no trace of the Shang girl. The two boats went around the island in the middle of the lake one after another and disappeared.
